they come out from behind the door, and you cannot
get them back there.

her glazes. order him around.

Ha ! Mel, I thought you were describing ME .
At my first year at NCECA in Denver, the lurkers and newbies were
sitting up against the wall in the Clayart room. With a little
encouragement, we formed a big circle, then ...within minutes, we were in
smaller groups of like interest....one group with beads, another group
looking at photos of kilns, another group making plans for supper. When one
of the shy ones began to talk, I said, "OH ! LOOK ! The lurker is posting !"
We all laughed and everyone enjoyed the "newbie post." Potters are as
comfortable to be around as family, you just get to CHOOSE the potters you
want to hang out with, and LEAVE the family for a few days :>)
Everyone has their FIRST NCECA.....everyone should leave with new
friends and knowledge and great experiences.
On my flight up to Indy, I sat in front of a 6 year old girl who sang out
loud. She didn't know how much I was enjoying her freedom of expression and
lack of inhibition. As we descended to land, she looked out the window at
the snow covered ground and said to her Mother, "This is a memory I'm going
to keep !" That just about sums up NCECA for me.
I drew Wayne's wonderful porcelain candlestick. Now I have a piece of
Wayne in my home in Mississippi. He was one of the new guys I set out to
meet.....expecting to see a parrot-head with cut-offs and flip-flops.....I
was pleasantly surprised !
He is a memory I'm going to keep.....as are about 1000 other new people.
Yall save your pennies.....I want to see 'all yall' in Baltimore !
Just....don't ask me for directions or suggestions on what to do and where
to go at any given time.....flitting about is my favorite part of the
schedule ;>)
Merrie in Mississippi
